Soul Emperor Martial God

He entered the 23rd floor.

Xiao Yi picked up three pill recipes.

As expected, they were sixth-grade advanced pill formulas.

Following the procedure, he memorized the pill recipes and introspected the Ice Phoenix Sword.

Half an hour later, three elixir pills were easily refined.

Then, he walked up to the Flowing Light Prohibition and selected five items.

In the Medicine Tower, the higher one climbed, the higher the tier of pill formulas that appeared.

But, the stored Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were likewise of a higher grade.

Soon, Xiao Yi finished selecting his items.

With the elixir pills in hand, he entered the 24th floor.

Here, sixth-grade peak pill formulas appeared.

Another half an hour passed.

After the elixir pills were refined, Xiao Yi began to select rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"Eh, Heavenly Intent Fruit?" Xiao Yi was obviously surprised.

The Heavenly Intent Fruit was the most important ingredient in the Heavenly Will Pill.

Even more so, one could say.

The Heavenly Will Pill was named after this very ingredient.

The Heavenly Intent Fruit ranked among the sixth-grade peak medicinal materials.

Undoubtedly, it was the rarest among sixth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

The energy contained within it was extremely vast.

A single Heavenly Intent Fruit was enough to refine up to eight or ten Heavenly Will Pills.

Xiao Yi still remembered.

The last time he refined Heavenly Will Pills.

The materials given to them were slices from a single Heavenly Intent Fruit.

"Tsk tsk, you can't let this one go," Xiao Yi said.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he took five Heavenly Intent Fruits.

The Heavenly Intent Fruit was very precious and rare.

Medicine King Valley didn't have many of them.

It seems, Medicine King Valley probably didn't expect.

That among the competitors this time, there would really be such a genius alchemist.

Capable of reaching the 24th floor.

After all, the sixth-grade peak pill formulas of the 24th floor.

Not to mention refining them.

To complete them, one needed at least a seventh-grade level.

Medicine King Valley's plan.

Originally, the eighth floor would stump most participants.

The sixth-grade intermediate pill recipes of the 22nd floor would stump the remaining four sixth-grade alchemists.

In fact, their plan succeeded.

Out of 18 alchemical geniuses, 17 were stumped.

Only Yi Xiao could not be calculated with common sense.

...

Xiao Yi entered the 25th floor.

Unsurprisingly, there were seventh-grade basic defective pill recipes here.

Following the procedure.

After refining the elixir pills, Xiao Yi began to select items.

"Hmm? Heavy Saber Refining Heart Fruit?"

The Heavy Saber Refining Heart Fruit was a seventh-grade rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

The flesh was only the size of a fist, yet it weighed ten thousand jin.

And, if a Sword Control Martial Artist or a Sword Martial Soul Martial Artist consumed it.

It would greatly enhance their Sword Control ability, with a massive increase.

The best item in the 25th floor was indeed the Heavy Saber Refining Heart Fruit.

Xiao Yi waved his hand and directly took five fruits.

...

On the 26th floor, seventh-grade intermediate defective pill recipes appeared.

Xiao Yi refined the elixir pills and began to select items.

"Mystic Ice Holy Fruit." Xiao Yi's eyes lit up.

This thing was a priceless treasure.

Among the seventh-grade rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it was second to none.

A Martial Artist of the Cold Ice Dao who consumed it would greatly increase their cultivation.

It could turn the Ice Attribute True Qi inside their body into Mystic Ice True Qi, extremely powerful.

Xiao Yi did not hold back, he waved his hand and directly took five fruits.

Speaking of which, on the entire floor, there were only about ten Mystic Ice Holy Fruits.

He took half of them in an instant.

...

On the 27th floor, seventh-grade advanced incomplete pill recipes appeared.

By the way, incomplete pill recipes above seventh-grade.

They weren't just temporarily created by the alchemists of Medicine King Valley.

Instead, they were pill recipes that Medicine King Valley had in its own possession.

It's just that the alchemists of Medicine King Valley had deliberately omitted many ingredients and steps from the pill recipes.

To create a seventh-grade pill recipe, the difficulty was great.

It couldn't possibly be created on the spot.

Of course, there was also no need to create them on the spot.

There was simply no chance that a competitor had previously refined a seventh-grade elixir.

Back to the point.

After refining the elixir pills on the 27th floor, Xiao Yi began selecting rare medicinal materials.

"Hmm? Thunder Attraction Wood."

This time, Xiao Yi took in a breath of cold air.

Thunder Attraction Wood had no tier.

But it was among the rarest of all tiers.

Xiao Yi even dared to say that not even the Sky-reaching Tower might have this for sale.

Thunder Attraction Wood originated from a kind of Extreme Spirit Wood.

Extreme Spirit Wood only grew on the summit of Ten Thousand Feet Mountain.

Ten Thousand Feet Mountain, piercing the clouds.

Extreme Spirit Wood, exposed to harsh sunlight without withering day after day.

And surviving endless Gang Winds each night without damage.

It would take hundreds of years for it to become Thunder Attraction Wood through this day and night of Yin Yang tempering.

Once Thunder Attraction Wood formed, thunderstorms would rage overhead on the high mountain.

Thunder came rumbling.

If the Thunder Attraction Wood could withstand it under the thunder and electricity without damage.

Then it would truly become Thunder Attraction Wood and be harvested.

This thing, although one of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, could not be used for refining.

At least, based on the alchemical knowledge and pill recipes Xiao Yi currently knew.

It could not be used for refining.

Indeed, this thing was incomparably sturdy.

Indestructible by fire, unable to be cut by swords.

It was impossible to extract the force within it.

But, for demon beasts or Martial Souls specialized in cultivating the path of thunder and lightning, this object is a divine treasure they long for in their dreams.

During cultivation, they take out the Thunder Attraction Wood.

Ten Thousand Thunders come galloping forth.

Martial Artists or demon beasts who cultivate the path of thunder and lightning.

Use it to temper their bodies and amplify their Cultivation.

A single day's work could match a hundred days of arduous cultivation.

Xiao Yi reined in his amazement.

He was still unceremoniously, with a big wave of his hand,

Took the four pieces of Thunder Attraction Wood.

In such a large floor, there were only four pieces of Thunder Attraction Wood.

Xiao Yi then took another rare fruit.

Making a total of five items.

Afterwards, he entered the 28th floor.

On the 28th floor, there had appeared Seventh-grade Peak Incomplete Pill Recipes.

...

Outside the Medicine Tower.

The audience who had been waiting for nearly four hours

Was once again provided with a report from the Deacon.

"Elders," the Deacon reported.

"The status of the other 17 contestants remains unchanged."

"Most are stuck at the 8th floor."

"Jie Mo and the two Sword Masters are stuck at the 22nd floor."

"Only Yi Xiao has broken through the 27th floor and entered the 28th."

The moment the Deacon's words ended,

Surprise was evident on the faces of all the onlookers.

"Hmph," Elder Mu snorted at this moment.

With a look of exultation, he said, "Now do you believe that I did not cheat for Yi Xiao?"

"Starting from the 25th floor, Seventh-grade Incomplete Pill Recipes have already appeared."

"On the 27th floor, there are even Seventh-grade Advanced Incomplete Pill Recipes."

"Even I may not be sure of passing it in a short time."

"To think that by simply giving hints or through cheating, one could help Yi Xiao complete the pill recipes and succeed in refining them."

"Unless the Valley Master himself were to be brought here."

"We wouldn't dare," spoke up the Alchemists around him in unison.

"Elder Mu must be joking."

Those who had previously sought explanations, one by one, bowed and made their gestures.

They certainly didn't have the courage to joke about the Medicine King Valley's Valley Master.

"Tsk tsk, impressive, really impressive."

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao truly lives up to his reputation."

The one who praised him was Elder Mo.

He was one of the few on-site who had been confident in Yi Xiao from the very beginning.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Elder Mo voiced his surprise.

His expression turned quite intriguing in an instant.

The people around hurriedly asked, "Elder Mo, what's wrong?"

Elder Mo's face showed shock as he said, "I suddenly realized..."

"Every time the Deacon comes out to report on each refining talent's progress,"

"Mentioning everyone's floor level, combined with the time,"

"I realized that Yi Xiao, from the first floor to the current 28th,"

"It seems that the time he uses on each floor is exactly the same."

"What? Exactly the same?" The spectators around were taken aback.

The reporting Deacon thought for a moment and said, "It does seem to be the case."

"Elder Mo really has keen insight."

"According to our records for each floor, Yi Xiao,"

"The time he needs to break through each level, is just over half an hour."

"Oh?" Now, even Elder Mu was slightly surprised.

"Could it be... could it be that..." Elder Mu seemed to have thought of something.

His face turned odd.

"What's going on?" the people around urgently asked.

"Hahaha," Elder Mu suddenly burst into laughter.

"I understand, interesting, interesting, this kid really is interesting."

"He deliberately took the same time on each floor."

"He is telling us that, whether it's the lower floors or the higher ones,"

"No matter how difficult the pill recipes are, before him, they are no different from the most basic, simple pill recipes."

"Good, very good, bold enough, arrogant enough, worthy of being Purple Flame Yi Xiao."

At that moment, the Third Elder of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect from Northern Mountain County also proudly smiled.

"I've said it before, Purple Flame Yi Xiao has never disappointed anyone in Northern Mountain County."

"The same is true in the Royal Capital."

"Those who mock him, those who do not believe in him, will eventually become yet another powerful testament to his unblemished record."

The Wanshan Sword Master and the Medicine Hall Elders from Wanshan County nearby had an exceedingly unpleasant look on their faces.

Their previously arrogant demeanor had long since turned to one unable to show their faces.

...

In fact, Xiao Yi wasn't deliberately controlling the time.

It's just that the time he took to memorize the pill recipes was more or less the same.

And when he was completing the first to twentieth floor pill recipes of first, second, and third grades,

Although he spent less time, he used more time on searching for the best and rarest treasures of each floor.

Naturally, the time required to break through each floor was more or less the same.

Of course, Xiao Yi was in the Medicine Tower and unaware of the misunderstanding.

Even if he had been aware, with his personality, he probably would have been too lazy to explain.

...

At this moment, just after Elder Mu finished speaking,

Suddenly, he looked puzzled and turned to the Deacon.

"With Yi Xiao's ability, it shouldn't take so long to complete the pill recipes and refine the Elixirs."

"What else has he been doing for the better part of an hour?"

The Deacon gave a wry smile and said, "Yi Xiao, most of his time has been spent selecting Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

"Up to now, the 27th floor's Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

"The items he has taken are all the very best and rarest of the floor."

Elder Mu heard this and smiled, "That kid, he's pretty clever."

But the next second, it seemed like he remembered something, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"What? Say that again? All are the best and rarest items?"

"And now he's on the 28th floor?"

"Uh-huh," the Deacon nodded.

"Doesn't that mean, within the 27th floor..." Elder Mu's face showed shock.

"Damn, this kid, he couldn't be that cunning, could he?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Mu's figure flashed, heading straight for the Medicine Tower.

...

...

Third update.
